Wow, I can hardly believe that Valentine's Day is fast approaching. I have been busy creating goodies for my family, friends and clients.

It was such a joy to create them all. I got to dip into my hoarders stash and use up a bunch of designer paper!!! It must be almost 2 years old by now...hehe

Made a bunch of treat bags filled with Hershey's Kisses...Yum. Even used my neglected hot (cool) glue gun on the rosette's. Everything used came from my stash, including upcycled buttons.

OMGosh!! What a great buy my Envelope Maker was. I absolutely love it. It seems to have endless creative possibilities. Envelopes, boxes, cards, bows and so much more.

You can find loads of tutorials on You Tube to create these fabtastic envelope boxes and cards. Used my favorite tools including my awesome Cuttlebug to cut out the Mini Paper Rosettes by Tim Holtz, the Two Tags Die by Stampin Up, and to Emboss the Candy Hearts with sayings from Cuttlebug.

I got the idea for my little treasure chest from Sam you can find the tutorial here. I wanted mine to be smaller and adjusted to suit my needs. Yikes, I can't afford to fill the big ones with that much candy...lol
